PLAB Is More Than Just an Exam

For many IMGs it also means:
• Being far from family
• Financial pressure
• Visa timelines
• Studying after exhausting shifts

If you feel overwhelmed at times, it doesn’t mean you’re not capable — it means you’re human.

What I Wish Every IMG Knew Before Starting PLAB…
After guiding hundreds of IMGs, these are the truths I see again and again:
✨ PLAB is more about how you think than how much you memorise
✨ Safety > communication > teamwork > knowledge
✨ You don’t need to figure it out alone
✨ Structure and feedback save months
✨ Most IMGs are much more capable than they think
If someone told you this on day 1, your journey would feel very different.
